Royce Lewis not ready to play field yet, but Twins haven’t ruled it out for ALDS

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:38 GMT

HOUSTON — The Twins are not ruling out the potential for Royce Lewis to get back out to third base in the American League Division Series. But they’re also not going to rush him into the field, either.Lewis, who strained his left hamstring Sept. 19, has been making what Rocco Baldelli called “gradual progress,” but the Twins are going to be careful as they proceed with him, letting him serve as their designated hitter for the time being.Baldelli said the rookie was in a good place to help the team win games — as he did in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series with two home runs — but he wasn’t at a spot yet where he or the medical staff felt comfortable sticking Lewis at third base.“We can’t put him in a spot where he’s going to stretch himself and compromise himself,” Baldelli said. “So when we’ve gotten over that point, over that hump, then we’ll do it. Then we’ll put him out in the infield and let him go. We’re just not quite at that point yet.”Lewis ...

Around 1 million people call St. Louis County home in the present day, according to U.S. Census figures.

Broncos activate safety P.J. Locke from injured reserve

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:36:38 GMT

The Broncos are starting to get healthy at safety.They activated P.J. Locke off injured reserve Saturday, meaning he’ll join Justin Simmons (hip/groin) in returning to action Sunday against the New York Jets.Locke dislocated his big toe late in training camp and spent time in a walking boot before starting rehab work. Though head coach Sean Payton initially downplayed the injury, saying Locke would “be fine,” the Broncos placed Locke on injured reserve after the roster cutdown to 53 players.That move made him ineligible to return until this week. Over the past couple of weeks, he’s been moved without limitation during the open portions of practice and backed that up by jumping right into work as a full participant in practice on Wednesday.Now he can work back into game action on special teams and perhaps in rotation at safety with Simmons, who has missed the past two games himself due to injury, and Kareem Jackson.Denver had a roster spot open for Locke after...

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Jayden Daniels shredded the Missouri defense with his arm and legs Saturday, rallying LSU from a big early deficit, and none of that should have been surprising given the way the quarterback has played this season.The fact that No. 23 LSU’s defense made two crucial stands in the final minutes? That certainly raised some eyebrows.Yet after watching Daniels throw for 259 yards and three touchdowns, and run for 139 yards and a score, it was that same battered bunch that allowed more than 700 yards to Mississippi last week that stepped up to preserve the 49-39 victory over No. 21 Missouri.“We were battling,” said LSU coach Brian Kelly, whose team trailed 22-7 early. “All I know is when we got down, I just felt like the way the game was going, if we just got one more score, we could get back into it. I knew we were settling in defensively. Felt like we had a chance to get back in the game and win it. I didn’t lose that confidence.”Still, LSU was dow...
